Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 25th)

@mcdreamer never got a Wii U, so I missed out on XCX (I’m pretty much a handheld only gamer due to work commitments).

However, having recently got a Switch (Lite), XC2 will be my game for the Autumn. I can’t wait for that and the Torna expansion pack is probably the first DLC that I will buy with the main game.

I would love to see the rest of the Xeno series remastered/released just to see the evolution of the series. One thing that is probably guaranteed either in this generation or the next - Xenoblade 3!

Re: Ubisoft Is Hosting A Major Switch eShop Easter Sale, Great Savings On Top Games

@PuppyToucher I’ve got a Switch lite so I only play handheld.

I’m also a newbie to assassins creed and rebel collection is my first game.

It takes a while to get used to the controls. It’s not intuitive like Mario odyssey but after a few hours you get the hang of it. It’s blood thirsty as hell and the pirate ship sections are great fun especially if you overpower your own ship when outfitting it during the game.

Re: The Witcher 3 Polish Language Pack DLC Is Now Available On Switch

I was not in Poland during the Wii/DS era and I do believe that Nintendo could do a lot more. However, my wife did not know Nintendo when I met her. Now my kids point at the TV when there is a Nintendo ad so at least things are on the up. More importantly you can actually buy Nintendo in the shops - I could not do that pre-Switch!

@SmaggTheSmug I met my (Polish) wife ten years ago. When I first went to Poland back then, Nintendo was non-existent.

Now, Nintendo is aggressively marketing itself in Poland. TV ads, posters and yes, I bought my Switch in Poland.

Poland is currently Xbox country and that is going to take a lot to change. But I’ll give credit where it’s due, Nintendo has been aggressively pushing itself in Poland since the Switch launched.

Re: Talking Point: How Much Is Your Video Game Collection Really Worth To You?

For me games can also have a sentimental value. So I loved Secret of Mana because I played it in my teens. Playing it now on the SNES Mini still holds me in thralls even though I can see it’s many faults in today’s gaming era.

Last generation, I have a soft spot for Fire Emblem Awakening as I was going through a lot of personal problems at the time of playing it and I felt my struggles mirrored what was going on in game.

So as a result I rarely get rid of old games, but if a new console has backwards compatibility then I do sell off the original console to free up shelf space.

Re: Comparing The Witcher Games To The Books Is Like Comparing "Spaghetti Carbonara With A Bicycle", Says Creator

Being married to a Polish girl I can safely say that Sapkowski’s bluntness is a national trait šŸ˜

Conversely if you see Sapkowski on the Netflix interviews he seems a bit more diplomatic than he comes across in this interview.

We do have to remember that he is not a native English speaker so a lot may be lost when he tries to communicate in English.

I’ve read the books - courtesy of my wife - and that actually has me excited for Witcher 3 (which I’ll buy at the end of the year).
